Dispelling Wetiko | Free Book
Drawing on insights from Jungian psychology, shamanism, alchemy, spiritual wisdom traditions, and personal experience, author Paul Levy shows us that hidden within the venom of wetiko is its own antidote, which once recognized can help us wake up and bring sanity back to our society.
In The Press
"This book brilliantly exposes how the very roots of the madness that
is threatening life on earth are ultimately to be found within our own
psyche. I love that Paul is taking seriously the profound implications
of what it means that all of us are living in a mass, shared dream.
His startlingly clear premise challenges me to reflect upon both the
world and myself in radically mind-altering ways. Something important
is coming through his imagination-filled musings; his visionary
insight into the intrinsic genius of our species feels inspired by a
truly creative, compassionate, and enlivening spirit. I always look
forward to reading Paul's work; it stimulates me to greater heights of
lucidity, disturbs me enough to awaken me out of my complacency, and
encourages me to fly on the wings of the creative imagination. The
world would be a better place if everyone read this book. His vision
is a royal gift for all of us. It makes me want to sing. Bravo!"
—Sting
"Dispelling Wetiko
is one of those rare, courageous books that leads us where we would
prefer not to go: into the depths of our own shadow. Yet this is the
most essential journey for our present time.… It is a must-read,
without a doubt."
—Caroline Myss, author of
Anatomy of the Spirit
"Paul Levy summons us by
Wisdom's call to community, action, and our higher humanity. Truly
initiatory, this book is inviting us to step through the looking glass
and consciously participate in our own evolution. In exposing our
psychic blindness, Levy is helping us to open our eyes and see."
—Thom
Hartmann, author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight
"When I read Dispelling Wetiko, I was unprepared
for a work of such true brilliance and depth. Paul Levy should be
congratulated on writing a seminal work."
—Brad Steiger, author
of Revelation: The Divine Fire
"No one else writing
in America today, in whatever genre, sees into the real nature of our
crushing global endgame emergency more deeply, steadily, or wholly
than Paul Levy."
—Eric Larsen, author of
A Nation Gone Blind and professor emeritus at John Jay College
of Criminal Justice (CUNY)
"Paul Levy has broadened his
hard-won personal insights into a trenchant diagnosis of the mass-mind
psychosis afflicting our Western (and indeed now global) civilization.
I honor Paul's courage and discernment in taking on this most elusive
and treacherous of topics and showing the steps one can take to move
toward liberation. Dispelling Wetiko deserves to be widely read
and studied."
—Ralph Metzner, PhD, professor emeritus at the
California Institute of Integral Studies and author of The Unfolding
Self
"I very much recommend Paul Levy's writings.
Synthesizing a deep understanding of Jungian psychology and
spirituality, his work brilliantly illuminates the dreamlike nature of
reality."
—Dr. Arny Mindell, founder of process-oriented
psychology and author of The Shaman's Body
"The
world is suffering from the globalization of selfishness, materialism,
and militarism, and Paul Levy, in his magnum opus,
Dispelling Wetiko, identifies their roots in a cancer of the
soul.… An insightful and provocative manifesto on how to combat this
global epidemic before it is too late."
—Rabbi Michael Lerner,
editor of Tikkun magazine, chair of the Interfaith Network of
Spiritual Progressives, and author of The Left Hand of God
"As a people, we seem to be seriously impaired. It is as
if we have suffered a culture-wide stroke that has damaged the higher
centers that control our ability to reason and act in rational ways.
What will see us through? What will help us wake up from this slow
suicide? Paul Levy's Dispelling Wetiko is a valuable step in
the right direction. This desperately needed book not only sounds an
alarm, but also points to a solution."
— Larry Dossey, MD, author
of The One Mind and executive editor of
Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing
"In
these dire straits, many extraordinary people—in all walks of life,
speaking in different tones and voices—envision the nondual experience
of the nature of mind. Paul Levy is one of them. [He] evokes a clear
and scintillating vision, resolving much of the incongruity of our
existence."
—Keith Dowman, author of
Natural Perfection: Longchenpa's Radical Dzogchen
"Paul Levy hits the archetypal nail on the head when he
identifies debt pushers, consumption pushers, and GOD (gold, oil, and
drug) pushers as the cannibalistic offenders in today’s society.… I
can’t express how brilliant I find this book."
—Iona Miller,
coauthor of
The Modern Alchemist: A Guide to Personal Transformation
"This rich and fascinating book is full of original
insights that challenge us to see the human predicament in a new
way."
—Timothy Freke, author of The Jesus Mysteries and
The Mystery Experience
"Paul Levy's provocative and
insightful book Dispelling Wetiko shines a light on the
darkness and exposes evil as an illusion—one that nonetheless impacts
our reality. It is particularly important in these evolutionary times
that those who see themselves as 'bringers of the light' understand
the heart of darkness as well.… Kudos to Paul Levy for taking on this
topic."
—Steve Bhaerman, coauthor of Spontaneous Evolution
"Paul Levy is a great social critic and public
intellectual—his distinctive metaphysical idealism and
experience-based mysticism gives his oeuvre a spiritual depth that is
lacking even among our best critical theorists. Unlike many
other spiritually informed political activists, Paul’s spirituality is
never saccharine or cliché, his politics never compromising. His
profound psychological insights and treasure trove of metaphors and
literary tropes enable him to advance a highly original theoretical
perspective grounded in Jung’s thought, quantum physics, Buddhism and
his own transpersonal revelations. His message to social activists is
that the alternative to neoliberal barbarism and the advent of
ecological catastrophe is the willingness to cultivate the power of
the communal imagination…Paul Levy represents the future."
—Seth
Farber, Ph.D., Assessing Editor,
The Journal of Mind and Behavior and author of
The Spiritual Gift of Madness: The Failure of Psychiatry and the
Rise of The Mad Pride Movement
"Paul Levy is one of the wisest, most
spiritually-wide-awake people I've had the privilege of getting to
know."
—Kevin Barrett, Truth Jihad Radio
"Paul Levy is
one of our time's most original thinkers on the human condition."
—Alan Steinfeld, NewRealities
"Paul Levy's
Dispelling Wetiko is among the very best books on the nature of
evil that I have ever read, and because it offers a workable way out
of the universal psychosis that native peoples call Wetiko, possibly
the most important on the subject that I have had the pleasure of
adding to my library. A real treasure."
—Whitley Strieber,
UnknownCountry.com, Dreamland radio show
"This volume, like
its predecessor, is not only fascinating, riveting, and, like all
Levy's work, consistently crunchy and prickly with thought, but it is
also, in two words, overwhelmingly revelatory... A guarantee: Neither
while reading nor after reading Dispelling Wetiko will you
again look at the world around you the same way as you might have
before."
—The Oliver Arts & Open Press
"Paul
Levy's book is the finest recent example of what Jungian or archetypal
criticism has to offer in the diagnosis of contemporary culture and,
specifically, the problem of evil and how to find a way out of its
dominance in our world."
—Walter Davis, author of
Death's Dream Kingdom: The American Psyche since 9-11, and
Professor Emeritus in the Department of English at Ohio State
University
"Every so often a book comes into one's
possession that dramatically and radically decimates one's world view.
For me reading 'Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil' has
been one of them."
—Peter Morris, LightoftheLogos.com,
MysteriesofSirius.com
“For millennia, humanity has
struggled to understand the manifestation of evil in our world. In
this regard Dispelling Wetiko is an extraordinary
book, and author Paul Levy has made a great contribution to our
understanding of the evil that is happening in our world today, as
well as who and what we are.”
—Hank Wesselman PhD.,
anthropologist and author of The Bowl of Light, The Spiritwalker Trilogy, and the award-winning Awakening to the Spirit World: The Shamanic Path of Direct
Revelation with Sandra Ingerman
"A true book of genius; one everybody
should read."
